HYDROCARBON CONVERSION CATALYST, PRODUCTION METHOD THEREOF AND METHOD OF PRODUCING SYNTHETIC GAS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC B01J21/02 B01J23/76 B01J31/02 B01J37/08 C01B3/38 

FIELD: chemistry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to chemistry. According to the method, the hydrocarbon conversion catalyst contains nickel oxide, lanthanum oxide, boron oxide and aluminium oxide, with the following ratio of components, wt %: nickel oxide 11-25, lanthanum oxide 1-12, boron oxide 0.3-0.9 and aluminium oxide - the rest. The catalyst is obtained by preparing a mixture which contains alumina and boric acid, binder in form of a mixture of paraffin, wax and oleic acid, moulding a support through slip casting, curing in air and calcining the obtained support at temperature 1480-1520°C, followed by saturation with a solution of nitrates of nickel and lanthanum or nickel, aluminium and lanthanum, drying and calcination of the saturated alumina support at temperature 510-590°C while raising temperature at a rate of not more than 1°C/min. Synthetic gas is obtained by converting hydrocarbons on a catalyst of the said composition in form of a sphere with parallel cylindrical channels with the following characteristics of the layer: specific surface area 400-650 m²/m³, porosity 0.5-0.7 m³/m³.

EFFECT: invention increases catalyst activity, lowers its hydraulic resistance, increases efficiency of producing synthetic gas.
